Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 26,980. Browne, H. C. Nov. 21. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing.-In threespeed hub gears for cycles, motor-cycles, &c., of the kind employing a single laterally-fixed epicyclic train, the changes of gear are effected by the sliding or axial movement of a collar 2 upon the driving-member 1, the collar having two sets of spring-trigger pawls 3, 4 for effecting the connexion between the driving-member and the hub or a member of the gear train. In the position shown, the drive is direct through the pawls 3 and the gear train is stationary, but by moving the collar towards the left, the inwarly - projecting tails of the pawls 3 are raised so that these pawls are rendered inoperative, the pawls 4 are released to engage the ratchet teeth on the carrier p', and pawls 6 are set free to connect the internal ring c to the hub. For the low gear, the collar is moved to the right from its normal position, and the drive is then transmitted by the pawls 4 from the driving-member to the internal-ring, and by pawls 5 from the carrier to the hub. The wheels of the train are provided with pitch-line friction disks as described in Specification 2048/10. The lateral movements of the collar are effected from the centre of the axle by the engagement with the groove of a sliding piece 7 of two long pins screwed into the collar and passing through slots in the driving-member. A spring may be arranged between the driving- member and the right-hand end of the collar.

Title: Process for Preserving Wood.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: B27K3/36
Filed: 1911-07-17
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 16,433. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. July 17. Impregnating - compositions. - Wood is preserved by treating it with organic compounds which contain mercury, arsenic, or antimony directly joined to the carbon atom. Examples of such compounds are the anhydrides of oxymercuricacetic acid and oxymercuricbenzoic acid, oxy-phenylene-mercuric-oxide (obtained by heating phenol with mercuric acetate and decomposing the product with alkali), oxyorthonitrophneylenemercuric oxide (obtained in the same way except that orthonitrophenol is used as parent material), mercurized orthoacetylaminophenol (obtained in the same way except that orthoacetylaminophenol is used as parent material), mercurized toluidines (obtained by using orthotoluidine as the parent material) soluble in dilute aqueous ammonia, oxyphenylarsenic oxide, dioxyarsenobellzene, paraamino phenylarsinic acid, phenylstibinic acid, &c. They are dissolved in alkaline reagents for use. The carbonic acid of the air gradually decomposes the alkali salts and precipitates the compounds in an insoluble form. The precipitation may be effected in any other way. After impregnation with the alkali salts, the wood may be treated with solutions of metallic salts, such as cupric sulphate, lead acetate, zinc chloride, barium chloride, &c. to form the corresponding insoluble metal salts of the compounds in the wood.

Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 18,067. Sague, G. Aug. 9. Inking - apparatus; printing - surfaces. - Printers' rollers, such as inking or like rollers of typographic and lithographic presses, are cleaned without contact with scrapers, by being laid on helically or otherwise annularly grooved and longitudinally reciprocated rollers 17, 18 running in cleansing-fluid, after which they may be dried by contact with two plain rotating rollers 30, 31, the roller 31 being covered with composition and having a scraper 32 to remove all liquid. As shown, the rollers 17, 18 have right and left handed helical grooves which run to the middle portion and cause the matter removed from the inking or like roller to be carried to the centre of the trough 13, where the discharge orifice is preferably situated. The grooves are made sufficiently narrow to leave ample supporting-surface for the inking-roller. The rollers 17, 18 are reciprocated in opposite directions by oblique wheels 26, so that the roller being cleaned remains always in about the same position longitudinally. The drying-rollers 31, 32 are mounted in a higher portion of the trough 13, and the scraper blade 32 is preferably slightly twisted and mounted on an oscillating shaft 34, so that it cleans only one portion of the roller 31 at a time. Specifications 25,531/02 and 17,724/05 are referred to.

Granted: 1912-08-14
Abstract: 18,386. Cases, A. Levi-. Aug. 14. Systems of working.-In a process for the liquefaction of air and like gases which support combustion, the unliquefied expanded gas, after absorbing the heat of compression of the gas to be liquefied and while still under considerable pressure, is utilized in an internal-combustion engine, which may drive the compressor. In carrying the invention into effect by means of the apparatus shown, air or like gas from a compressor A passes through interchangers B, E, F, and then is expanded, with or without the production of external work, into a chamber C, the non-liquefied portion traversing the interchangers F, B and finally passing to a Diesel engine D. The heat of compression is abstracted in the interchanger B. The interchanger E is traversed by an external cooling-medium. An internal-combustion engine may be supplied with the non-liquefied products from two liquefaction plants, one of which liquefies a gaseous supporter of combustion, and the other a gaseous fuel.
